Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of The Parish of Burpham St Luke's with the Church of the Holy Spirit For the year ended 31 December 2022 Aim and purposes The Parochial Church Council {PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent. Rev'd James Levasier and the Associate Minister Rev'd Joanna Levasier. who jointly share the role of vicar, in promoting the whole mission of the Church in the parish. The whole mission encompasses worship, pastoral care, evangelism, social activity and church partnerships. The PCC is also specifically responsible for maintaining St Luke's Church on Burpham Lane and the Church of the Holy Spirit (CHS) on New Inn Lane wilh its attached church ntre. These church buildings and the people that congregate in them are colthtively knoNvn as Burpham Church. Burpharn Church has a vision to be 'God's famity living and sharing the good news of Jesus. with the 3-fold focus of prayer, care and share.- It was a year of gentle growth bringing the congregation back in the building after the impact of Covid-19 restrictions in 2021.. to meet and worship together, mindful of those unwilling to mix socialty for health reasons. 2022 was sts"Il a challenging year for Burpham church as Rev'd James Levasier remained off work (31 March 2021 to date). We have greatly appreciated working together with three other local Anglican churches, and particularly the secorKlment of Iwo members of the St John's Stoke ministry team to support us in the Autumn temi. Objectives and acllvltles The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible lo take part in worship at the church buildirvJs or online. participate in other church activities arKI to become part of the local community. To this end the church offers a variety of different worship services and keeps contact with all see themselves as members. We have reviewed what services we can provide and rnade good use of our streaming technology for both public and private viewings. When plannirvJ activities for the year. the PCC considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefft and, in particular. the supplementary guidance on charities for the advanrnent of religion. Burpham Church endeavours to enable ordinary people to live wt their faith as part of the parish community through: Worship & prayer. developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. Mission and outreach work. To facilitate this work. the PCC considers that it ts important to maintain the fabric of the St Luke's Church, the Church of the Hoty Spirtt (CHS) arKI the Church Centre.

Review of the yearfs activities Retumi to churth worshi disci leshi and eva elism Our year began still consolidating members back into services onsite rather than attending the online services that we had provided during the pandemic. Over the summer we took a break from strearning services and this encouraged one or trwo lo finally make it back into the building. We are ncw running an established set of services that best meets the needs of our communty with the resources available and have been pleased to see attendance rise to pre-pandemic levels. Burpham Church currently runs two SurMJay services weekly.. a 9.15am more traditional Common Worship communion service, followed by coffeelbiscuits then usually a 10.45am contemporary servbce with Sunday club. Many of the 10.45 services are live streamed as we make use of the equipment bought during the pandemic. We continued with our monthly Messy Church servTrces on a Sunday afternoon, enabling established church families as well as those on the fringe of the church communty io explore faith in an all-age ative way. On these Messy Church Sundays we stuck to our commitinent of onty two seNces on a Sunday and did not hold a 10.45am seplice. We continued to hold weekly coffee between the 9.15am and 10.45am services and have been grateful for the hardwc¥king volunteers who made this possible. Our midweek communion ser4fjce had restarted in June 2021. and we were pleased when it was felt safe enough in February 2022 to reintroduce Drop In, our weekly social group for the older members of the community. We expenmented with slrghtly different timings across the year, with Drop In beginnirwJ at 10am and our Servi following afterwards. During the year, we ran some occasional services at St Luke's Church when we feh that building was best suited to the event.. a bereavement service in Lent, Good Friday hour at the cross, Easter Saturday refiection space, Remembrance Sunday and Christmas Carol Servi$ for both the church and Burpham Primary School. We joined with many churches in live-streaming the funeral of Queen Elizabeth11 in September at CHS. We reintrodUd a monthly SuTrJay evening prayer meeting to supplement the weekly Tuesday morning prayer meeting and give more people the opportunrty lo support the ministry of the church in prayer. We have been pleased to continue our close connection with our three other local Anglican churches. Christ Church Guildford. St John's Church. Stoke Road and St Peterfs Shared Church. sharing services at festivals and running joint Lent and Alpha courses. We are especially grateful for the support of St John's Church, Stoke Road with the secondment of two of their ministy team (wtth partrErs) to support us at Burpham Church: Rev'd Jo Lamberth and her husbarKI Andy, and Local Lay Minister William Lowries and his wife Carol ioired us in October and have been a great blessing to the church.

Structure, governance and management The Parochial Church Council a corporate body established by the Church of England and operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. As Burpham Church has an annual turnover exceeding £100.(K)O, the PCC is Registered Charity with the Charity Commission. with charity number 1128817. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representats"on Rules. In Burpham the membership of the PCC consists of the Vicars and the Curates ex officio, the iwo Churthwardens. up to Oeanery Synod representatives and twelve members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend ServIS are encouraged to register on the electoral roll and. if they wish, to stand for election to the PCC. The PCC members are resports[b for making decisions on all matters of general concem and Importan to the parish including deciding how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The vicars and the PCC are keen to ensure that membership of the PCC is properly representats've of Church members. New Ernbers re1ve initial trainirKJ into the workings of the PCC. The full PCC met monthly during the year. with the exption of July. August and Dernber when no PCC meeting was hehj. Meetings are held in person vtherever possible. The average level of attendan was 13 members. The PCC has appointed a Standing Committee as required by law which has the power to transact business of the PCC between its meetings. subpct to any directions given by the full council, although the a'lIty to fonnally agree matters online if required has meant that the StarKlirKJ Committee has not been required in 2022.

Tearn, the Finance Administrab'on & Stewardship Tearn, the Youth Action Team and the Care Action Team (now Pastoral Team). tjjring 2022 an Environmental Action Team. and Buildings Action Team, were also established. These teams are responsible to the PCC and report back to it with recommendations for approval as neSsary. The vision was to cut down numter of PCC meetings and provide more involvement in the actual running of the church. However, this year, with the annOUnrnent of Jo Levasiefs new appointrnent in 2023 and the ongoing CDM. we decided it was best to keep meetitKJ regularty as a fijll PCC. In 2022 we have been especially grateful for those invc4ved in the People and Building Action Teams who have been very busy erEuring that our precious resources of stsff, volunteers and property are being managed professiMalty and responsibty. Particular thanks should go to Ann Wgmore, Debbie Smilh. Mike Pocock and Lewis V4fjlliams in this regard. Administrallve Infom110Tr The Parish of Burpham is situated to the northeast of Guildford in Surrey. It is part of the Di0Se of Guildford within the Church of EThJland. The Corresponden address is The Parish Offi, Church of the Holy Spiri( New Inn Lane, 8urpham, Guildford, GU4 7HW. Financial review Voluntsry giving and donations for 2022. indudiThJ Gift Aid totalled £151.691 which was a decrease ofjust over £52.IXrt) on the 2021 amomt of £203,726. The decrease is mainly due to a lower level of one-off eXptiOnal gifts. Tolal ncome for the year amounted to £173,174. This level of regular income is insufficient to cover the church's regular unrestricted expendtture. Expenditure increased slightly in the year to £192,039 leawng a shortfall of £18.865 for the year. The PCC is avrdre this is not a sustainable pattem and conts'nues lo explore ways of addressing this lthOUt signfficantly reducing the irnportant and valLEd ministries of the church. The PCC is immensely grateful for the conts.nued 9enerosty of the church members through planned giving to support the work of the church particularly during the current cost of liwTrJ crisis which PCC members recognise is adding pressure to many people's personal financial arujmstances. Other activits'vs arKI events income indudes an amount of £1,843 received from the Di0Se of Guildford to support parishes wth the increased cost of energy. The PCC remains committed to Ihe policy of tithing the voluntsry unrestricted income and accordingly £14,719 was allocated to mission giving. principally distributed to the five mission partners adopted by the church. The remaining monthty repayments arKI final lump sum amount from the parish's £200,00 loan to the DI0Se. made in June 2020. were all received as planned and the loan was fully repaid in early Juty 2022.

Staff salary costs redUd from £44.8k in 2021 to £37.3k in 2022 mosty as a result of the full-time youth and children's Minister leaving the post at the end of August 2022 and the PCC making the decision rK)t to replace the role for the time being. Overall there were net increases in funds in the year of £19,420, of which £17,709 lated to the use of designated funds to support activities in the year. R•serv•s policy The PCC keeps its Reserves Policy under regular review and adopted the following revised policy in November 2019: "It is the policy of Burpham Church to hold the equivalent of four months of salary costs and tsvo months of running costs. exduding the Parish Share, in reserves. Such funds will be held in a cash investment account separate from the day to day working capital cash of the church. PCC Membershlp durlng 2022 and elected perlods of office Ex officio membors".
